Question 1 • Grade 7 Mathematics

A pizza restaurant sells containers of juice that it marks up 75 percent above its wholesale cost. If the restaurant marks up each container by 0 point 9 0 dollars , how much does the restaurant pay for each container of juice wholesale?

Answer
A
0 point 8 3 dollars
B
1 point 5 8 dollars
C
0 point 5 1 dollars
D
1 point 2 0 dollars

Explanation

A 75% markup means the markup is 0.75 times the wholesale cost. Let the wholesale cost be x; then 0.75x = $0.90, so x = $0.90 ÷ 0.75 = $1.20. The restaurant pays $1.20 wholesale per container, which is choice D.
